I only have 3000 cds but it seems like a lot. I don't know what I would do with 5000. I had 65 boxs of records which I have scaled down to 30 boxes. It just gets to a point where it's insane. The amazing thing to me has been how you can remember so much of the music just by seeing the CD or record. Each CD or record also can have some other memories attached to it too!
Remember too, if you spend a year and get all the CDs made into FLAC files you always can spend another year ripping them again if your drive fails as you have back-up.
Yes, and thats a real pain in the ass. What CD player are you using? I really like the design of the $40-60 high-end CD players that have very intricate design for the CD placement.

I never want to go through that! When I ripped my collection, I saved everything on 2 USB hard-drives as I went. One is plugged into my computer for streaming and the other is in storage in my office.
Im trying to find a picture of those CD players that are on the top, and you flip them open and you take out the center, put the CD in, and screw down the center piece again and play. Im not sure who it was made by, can you guys help me!
I've got my library in 3 places at the moment. Main PC, Laptop, and External HDD.
If I had a library that took that long to rip it'd be in a RAID config. If 1 fails, the others are safe. Then just pop in another good drive to replace the bad drive and boom. Back to normal.

I rip my CDs as I buy them so that doesn't happen. I might not play the physical CDs since I buy just as many downloads from Bandcamp anyway. I might hook up WMC7 to my TV in my listening room or get a Marantz NA7004.

Well yeah, it's obviously clever to have a back-up. I have the CD's but ripping is quite a job to do. I think I have some of my collection in and external HDD, but it's old and cheap, maybe I'll get a better one.
